Synopsis
Excerpt from King John of Jingalo: The Story of a Monarch in Difficulties
On the governing boards of the hospitals to which the Queen gave her patronage there was not a single woman or a married one either; but when her Majesty visited the wards she was very nice to the nurses. She was, in fact, very nice to everybody, and everybody was very nice to her.
A king and a queen take so long to describe that the reader will have almost forgotten how we left them at the breakfast table. But the Queen had her letters and the King his newspapers, and there, when we return to them in the historic present, they still are.
